Promoting buying clothes off Amazon in one video and then making a video on eco friendly fashion? Maybe if bloggers and other media platforms stop actively promoting fast fashion it would have a greater impact...

[@kelpme2000]

Yeah they’re treating sustainably as a trend instead of a necessary life change. They’ll be back to fast fashion next video :/

[@babygirlcat88]

AsinloveYunz.Link

[@dfjulesful]

Buzzfeed are hilarious like that. Buzzfeed news always talking about how bad Amazon is yet their KZbin channel constantly promotes Amazon

[@seleney3163]

To be eco-friendly is minimising the clothes you buy and limit all unnecessary clothes. It would be a good video if they try to recreate the look using their existing clothes but NOT BUY SOME MORE!!! I must say, things like these are exactly how people get useless clothes and being not eco-friendly

[@flyezilla]

@@kelpme2000 literally the next video is 'worst rated Amazon things' hahah

Yeah sucks they are still doing vids like “Buying the lowest rated bs from Amazon” like they aren’t feeding the beast lol like what...

[@daddypotterreviews2899]

@@BigTummyAche YES!!!!!!! I know they are using Amazon because it’s cheap so the majority of people can buy the same stuff but I HAAAAAAATE that they are supporting such a terrible brand. I wish they would support local makers

[@thebandaid3435]

but honestly are these going to be worn again? if not it’s not so eco friendly in the end.

[@anandiganguly3086]

They can return it to thrift stores though.

[@misterae6430]

@@anandiganguly3086 that means they have to send it back which in turn means more co2 due to transport! not very eco friendly lol

[@Blarebarnes]

No offense to people who like run way looks but I just don’t understand them but then again I only wear leggings and hoodies 😂

[@recoil53]

Runway looks are the extreme version of what the designers make. Toned down versions make their way to the store. (While of course a few like those are sold) It's like concept cars in shows. That's not what's going to hit the streets, but a piled on showcase of a vision for the future. But some of the features make it.

[@misterae6430]

@@recoil53 Depends on the type of show as well. There's avant garde which is not really for pratical use, but more conceptual or for artits and exibitions and then the other extreme is ready to wear show which speaks for it self.. During shows the styling can also make a ton of difference and can make a look very extreme, but when you start to disect you notice the pieces are quite wearable

[@BringMeRomance]

Does this mean you're finally going to stop supporting Amazon?

[@BigTummyAche]

THANK YOU!! 👏

[@Tori-wt7dy]

Wait, what's up with amazon?

[@rantallaboutit]

@@Tori-wt7dy Mass production. Mass consumerism. Fast Fashion. Sweat shops. Etc. They're not very eco-friendly at all. And honestly I use Amazon from time to time but it's really not the opposite of sustainable and is harmful to the environment, the poor (as the people run Amazon are so rich they could end mass famine and poverty) and it's bad the people who work in horrible conditions to make the products.

[@Tori-wt7dy]

@@rantallaboutit I thought amazon sold things from other brands. Do they make their own products as well?

[@BigTummyAche]

@@Tori-wt7dy Amazon is a huge distributor of fast fashion. Like its kind of hard to imagine a cheaply made $5 teeshirt can be made ethically.

[@taliasclafani9509]

First, PLEASE DO MORE ECO FRIENDLY ON A BUDGET VIDEOS!!!!! Second, I love the pairing of Vivian and Sean, they are both my favorite!!!! They both have such great fashion sense, and aren't afraid to go the extra mile to create their looks or finish their goals! Plus, they have such bubbly, beautiful and authentic personalities, which makes watching the video even more enjoyable to watch!

What do you call “sustainable brand”? Just because they say “sustainable”, they aren’t sustainable. What makes for you something sustainable or circular? That is the key point. Don’t be fooled!

Alright everyone who is on here talking bad about what they made keep in mind they did this on their own and put a ton of hard work into it i know full well i could not do anything close to what they did so i applaude their creativity and hard work Also when you make something and post it online where others can see takes a ton of self confidence and courage i loved both outfits you could tell it was made using their own unique style 😁😊 Vivian and Sean both are beautiful and confident people and their outfits were beautiful

[@gx4274]

I love both of them!!

[@margarita4751]

My best friend and i get together and exchange clothes we dont want anymore and i really think is a smart way to get new clothes and get rid of anything you no longer want without harming the environment.. I really enjoyed watching the video ! All of you guys looked amazing with your sustainable outfits! Thank you for talking about fast fashion and showing people that it is possible to save money and look cute by buying from thrift shops ! I hope you guys make more videos like this .

Fantastic video idea! I’d love to see you do more sustainable fashion!

[@rantallaboutit]

It's important that we recognize that while we shouldn't support the companies selling unsustainable, mass produced products on Amazon, we shouldn't cancel the platform completely; as a lot of small, local business owners and everyday people sell their goods using Amazon. For example, I bought a used book I needed for from a private seller on Amazon who was selling from home.

[@rantallaboutit]

I feel like thrifting is catching on though.

[@AlleenLoveHope]

Exactly! Some artisans even sell on Amazon (found cross-over from etsy)

Says "Save the earth" but has two closets worth of clothes. Now, I'm not innocent here, I think everyone has participated in fast fashion, and maybe most of his clothes are thrifted or sustainable but I'm seeing a lot of brands there. I just think it's highly hypocritical of Buzzfeed to upload this video and then share a video promoting Amazon, who is the epitome of fast fashion.

[@BringMeRomance]

Well this video was followed by ANOTHER "we intentionally buy poor quality sweatshop clothing we probably won't wear from amazon" video so in response to my earlier comment, no this does not mean you're going to stop supporting Amazon 😒

Sure, a problem with fast fashion is that it is used only for a short time. Re-use helps a lot - it's already bought.

[@thenevermer]

Second hand clothes are clothes that would've been thrown away if not for these platforms that promote less material wastage. It's not directly eco friendly, but it does promote sustainability
